In various statements, it is often required to specify the sum in words. We can find it in forms, invoices and other documents. But how to do this with software for generating reports. One of the problems of programs related to reporting systems is that, actually, there are no any ready-made features to print the required sum in words.

For example, we have a sum of 125 dollars and need to print not just one two five dollars but one hundred and twenty five dollars. There are lots of reporting tools familiar with this issue. Stimulsoft Reports easily solves it.

There are ToWords and ToCurrencyWords function in Stimulsoft Reports to display the sum or number in words.

The ToWords function allows you to display the number in words, whereas ToCurrencyWords is used to output numbers in words specifying currency units.

ToWords and ToCurrencyWords is a kind of protection from fraud and document changes because a digital value with the final amount can be changed by additional number or symbol whereas, in case of the number in words, it is impossible.

There is no big deal with the ToWords function. It sets a number that you want to write in words. In some functions you may add a parameter to output the first letter capitalized.

The ToCurrencyWords is more complicated, despite the fact that this function is analogous to ToWords. This is because ToCurrencyWords works directly with the currency sums and there is no single standard. For example: one hundred dollars, two dollars, one dollar and every language have its own nuances. The ToCurrencyWords function offers to select currency: dollars, Euros, pounds, Mexican pesos, Persian dirhams.
